Abstract

This paper is intended as a review and appraisal of various existing methods of finding singular points (maxima, minima, or saddle points) in functions of many variables. It is limited to methods involving a search procedure rather than a formal analytical technique. These methods are useful whenever an optimum condition is required of a system too complex for conventional analytical techniques.
